“The work of Daniel Embree is like a black tie party of self-discovery”

I am inspired by posters, advertisements, and magazine illustrations from the 1920’s that celebrate the end of war and glamorize new cultural freedoms. People went out to have a good time and challenge social boundaries despite the restrictions their time, such as prohibition. In a similar way I want my work to celebrate the freedom and happiness I feel now as an out gay man despite the restrictions of my past.
